What to check before engaging the firm
The website does not publish pricing, fee structures, or engagement terms, so those details would need to be confirmed directly with the firm. It also does not state whether initial consultations are free or whether services are limited to Florida; the described focus is Florida schools and Florida education law. For a school or vendor deciding whether to reach out, the practical next step is to identify which listed service area matches the issue — for example, a charter application or appeal, a facility financing transaction, a district or funding dispute, or a public records and Sunshine Law question — and then contact the firm to confirm fit, availability, and cost.
